Whether you’re heading to the gym or out on a 10k, rain can extinguish your willpower. Brooks’ LSD jacket is wind- and waterproof, plus light enough to layer over your kit, with reflective detailing front and back to keep you safe when the nights draw in.

If the weather brightens up, it also packs down into an arm-mounted bag. So no more excuses.

It’s time to ditch the gym freebie. This Patagonia duffel has room for all your kit, in a design that won’t look ridiculous at work, so you can head from an early-morning workout straight to the office.

It’s also light enough that your commute doesn’t become an extra weights session, while the weatherproof fabric will keep rain out, and sweat smells in.

Your knit trainers are no good in the wet. The Pure Boost ZG Heat takes tech from Adidas’ best runners – a boost sole for more efficient strides; a foot-hugging shape so you don’t slide around – then adds some seasonal extras.

For rain, an ATR outsole is like strapping on winter tyres. For cold, the climaheat upper traps warmth, while the heat seal collar keeps chills out. Like on-foot radiators.

There’s a limit to what weather you can actually train in. When gales hit, get all the workout from the comfort of home with a TRX.

Sling the straps over a door and you can hit every muscle using just your bodyweight, from ab crunches to squats to rows. It might have you reconsidering why you spend all that money on a gym membership.

Cold weather means cold muscles, which are more at risk of injury. Because you can’t get to the masseuse after every session, loosen up tight spots with a foam roller. You’ll minimise post-workout soreness and become more flexible, as you start to undo all that damage your desk inflicts on your posture.

Break it out for 10 minutes a day and you can spend the rest of your time training, not in rehab.
